When during the Popmart tour, George Harrison took a look at the current music industry and said "In 30 years time, will anyone remember U2 or The Spice Girls?"

From what I understand though he was never really fond of much mainsteam music by then anyway... What he said about Oasis was a bit extreme!

"Good people of Yorkshire, you've made a terrible mistake! George Harrison says you shouldn't be here. It's all just lemons and big fucking hats and air! Well, I've one thing for you, George: pump it up!"

Is this really true?
ok then then name the beatles songs that will be rememberd, and u will try to find the same number of U2 songsU2Man said:Exactly typhoon!
George Harrison made that quote during the PopMart period which really explains a lot. And I actually think he is right. The day U2 don't perform anymore, a vanishing number of U2 songs will be remembered. Please compare that to Beatles' legacy, and you might have a clue why George Harrison allowed himself to say something like this.
George, we miss you.
